Gutter Repair & Installation in Fort Collins, CO
Gutters move snowmelt and storm water away from the house. Hail dents them, ice drags them down and leaves block them.

Hail dents, sagging sections, leaking seams, gutters pulling away from the fascia and downspouts that dump water against the foundation.
Hail and gutters
Dented gutters and downspouts are often the first visible sign of a hail storm. If they're dented, have the roof checked too. See hail damage roof repair.
Snow, ice and weight
Snow and ice in gutters can be very heavy. Strong hangers spaced closely help gutters carry the load.
Clearing them
Clean gutters in late fall after leaves drop and again in spring. Clogged gutters overflow and help ice dams build.
Downspouts and drainage
Extensions that carry water a few feet away from the foundation help protect basements and slabs.
Replacement
Seamless aluminium gutters are a common choice. A roofer can size gutters and downspouts to the roof area.
Gutters and fascia
Overflowing gutters soak the fascia board behind them, which can rot over time. When gutters are replaced, have the fascia checked and repaired so the new gutters have something solid to hang from. Drip edge along the roof edge directs water into the gutter rather than behind it. A roofer can also check that the gutters slope correctly toward the downspouts, so water does not sit in them and freeze.
